Right-sized for hard work
The 2016 Ram ProMaster City delivers serious cargo ability in a compact, city-friendly size. Available in Cargo or Wagon body styles, the ProMaster City has a tight turning radius, easy hydraulic-assisted power steering, and smart bi-link independent rear suspension to keep it all stable over bumpy roads. Flexible cargo solutions allow you to carry large or heavy cargo, load up a trailer, or even secure it to the roof. Optional features include foldable cargo shelves, upgraded wheels, navigation, and a washer fluid heater. The standard 2.4L engine means you can skip the gas station for the customer's house, with an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined.1 From making delivery runs to hauling the crew and all their gear, the ProMaster City can get the job done.

5 reasons to buy the 2016 Ram Promaster City
1. SLT trim
The Ram ProMaster City (Cargo and Wagon) is available with base trim and SLT trim. The SLT trim has the same mechanicals but adds unique exterior and interior features. Interior additions include heated front seats, a five-inch touchscreen display featuring Uconnect® with Bluetooth® connectivity, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. Outside, you can identify SLT by standard power-folding and heated exterior mirrors, plus 16-inch steel wheels with silver wheel covers. 16-inch aluminum wheels are available for SLT.
2. Ready to upfit
The 2016 Ram ProMaster City has six receivers pre-drilled into the roof of every model. Able to accommodate Mopar® or aftermarket roof racks, you can haul ladders and other large equipment on the roof with its 154 lb load rating. The inside is equally adaptable, with nearly vertical walls and seven feet of flat cargo floor, it’s ready for customization. Available partitions for ProMaster City Cargo allow you to separate passengers from cargo. Available partition options include adding interior trim or a window to the dividing wall.
3. Mobile office
Just because you are out of the office, doesn’t mean the work stops. The Ram ProMaster City can be your mobile office on the go. Option packages include a Uconnect® system on a five-inch touchscreen with turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth®, and available Wi-Fi connectivity.
4. Wagon
Bring the family, including your huge dog. With seating for five, plus a large 74.1 cu-ft cargo floor, the ProMaster City Wagon is ready for adventure. Fold the second row down, and you have 101.7 cu-ft, enough space for a cross-country trip, or hauling all the band’s equipment to the next gig. The acoustic headliner and carpeted floor reduce road noise, so passengers can hear the music from the additional speakers (versus Cargo).
5. Cargo
The Ram ProMaster City Cargo version trades seats for cargo space. With 131.7 cu-ft of space behind the front seats, there isn’t much that won’t fit. The 48.4-inch cargo width between the rear wheel wells is big enough to fit an oven or dryer. When needed, the 2.4L can haul extra-large cargo with a maximum estimated towing capacity of 2,000 lbs when properly equipped. Tie-down rings help cargo management, with six standard on Promaster City Cargo, and four standard in the Wagon.
